A. dear mum, if your baby has been gaining at least 500 grams per month then it should not be a concern. baby should double the birth weight by 6 months or earlier.

A. The first 2 months of life were a period of rapid growth. Your baby will continue to grow at a similar rate, gaining about 1 to 1½ inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) in length and 2 pounds (907 grams) in weight this month.
